"The only way to face the crisis of our times is through the advancement of science and technology," Dr. George M. Low, NASA Deputy Administrator, said in an address to the Cal Tech Management Club. "The space program is at the forefront of the search for knowledge, . . . of producing knowledge, . . . of developing the technological capability which comes from this knowledge." Yet, "among even the higher echelons of the American business community, lack of under-standing rather than comprehension of space ventures is the prevailing frame of mind." Dr. Low called for communication to the American people of how the space program increased understanding of the universe and man's place in it, improved life on earth, and kept the country secure through scientific, technological, and economic strength, as well as international cooperation.
